Garage conversion is more than a finish upgrade.
A conversion may involve the slab and foundation, framing, insulation, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, windows, egress, ventilation, fire and life-safety details, and a complete permitted path to habitable space.
Scope, schedule, and cost factors
Final scope, materials, approvals, schedule, and pricing are confirmed before work begins. Existing conditions, finish level, structural changes, utilities, access, long-lead products, and inspection sequencing can affect the project.

Allowable size depends on the ADU type, property, and current state and local rules. The team confirms the limits that apply to the address during feasibility and planning.
Do ADUs and garage conversions require permits?
Yes. The exact submittals and reviews depend on the property, proposed unit, utilities, access, and jurisdiction. The applicable path is confirmed before construction.
Can an existing garage become living space?
Some garages can be converted, but feasibility depends on the structure, utilities, access, parking conditions, and intended layout. A property review is the right first step.
What affects the project timeline?
Design decisions, site conditions, plan review, utility work, material lead times, inspections, and construction scope all affect timing.
Can an ADU be planned for family or rental use?
ADUs can support family housing, guests, work, or eligible rental use. The layout should follow the intended use, while current local rules should be checked for any rental restrictions.
